I don't know if more public outrage would have changed the course of the Louisiana bill that makes possession of abortion drugs a felony, but we didn't get to find out because it largely went unnoticed until today.

That drug reclassification was a later addition to the bill and

I pressed Trump ally Congressman Byron Donalds on why he and other Republicans are pushing conspiracies about the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago by calling it an assassination attempt.

A 54% drop in average daily border crossings from the peak last year.

On track for the third straight month over month decrease in border crossings.

I'm sure Republicans who have been constantly fear mongering about migrants will make sure to share this good news.

*Republican goal

but it seems silly to delete and repost to fix that typo.

For the second time, Senate Republicans stopped a conservative, bipartisan, meaningful border bill so that they can continue to complain about migrants all the way up to the election.

Republicans don't believe in governing. They believe in obstruction.

How many people know that Marjorie Taylor Greene had a pointless and failed attempt at ousting Speaker Johnson?

How many people know that Republicans are attempting to make it illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, even though it is already illegal?

How many

As Americans, we can disagree on every position, every policy, and every budget. That is part of what makes our country great. But the one thing we should never disagree on is the importance of our elections.

Having an election, casting our vote, declaring a winner, and

Almost 60% of Americans believe we are in a recession. We aren't. We have the strongest economy in the world right now.

70% of Americans think crime increased last year. It decreased significantly.

The media easily falls prey to the culture war and extreme rhetoric of faux

This 'authorized deadly force' nonsense is beyond ridiculous.

The FBI has a standard policy on the use of deadly force. It is how they do their job. There was nothing different, unusual, or special when they retrieved the classified national security secrets that Trump stole.

Trump said he would release his taxes. He didn't.

Trump said he would release a healthcare plan. He didn't.

Trump said he would tackle infrastructure. He didn't.

Trump said he would testify. He didn't.

Trump said he will debate. Will he?

Just days ago House Republicans couldn't stop posting up sound bites and quotes from their Congressional hearing where they invited Robert Costello to rant endlessly about Michael Cohen.

Seems like they just suddenly stopped talking about Costello altogether for some reason...

What is the MAGA excuse for the fact that Trump complained throughout the entire trial that he 'wasn't allowed to speak', but then refused to speak when given the opportunity to do so under oath?

As the ICC continues to move forward in building a case against Israel's conduct in Gaza, Republicans continue to decry the court's actions.

This article from two weeks is still very relevant to understanding the situation:

The bipartisan Border Act is going to be brought back to the Senate this week.

Will the Republicans who have complained endlessly about the border despite killing this bill the last time it was introduced, now do the right thing and support a tough, conservative border bill?

Or

Republicans are against a new rule by the CFPB, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The rule would limit credit card late fees to $8. This comes after Republicans were upset that the CFPB made a rule to end overdraft fees which will save Americans $6 billion every year.

Fundamentally wrong assessment of the situation by Ms. Greene.

The easiest thing to dispute her point is the fact that the birth rate began falling before Roe v Wade.

Two main things happened.

The birth control pill was introduced and began being widely adopted, passing 10
